It's time for another edition of What Did I Miss?, our monthly pop culture roundup! This month, we reunited the Super Brack Bros Cinematic Universe with Jay, host of Super Bracket Bros, and Andrew from the Loyal Undead YouTube Channel to break down some of the biggest stories in entertainment and gaming you might have missed over the last few weeks.

• Xbox's Ongoing Restructuring: More layoffs, major studio changes, and Activision taking over development of the next Halo game. We also discussed Kojima's move to Xbox, studio closures, and what all these changes mean for the future of Xbox and its biggest franchises.
• Bungie's Destiny and Marathon Problems: Bungie is walking back decisions and rethinking its approach to Destiny 2 amid Marathon's struggles. What does this mean for the future of both franchises, and can Bungie regain the trust of its player base?
• The Last of Us Season 3: Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann reveal they will have no creative input whatsoever in the upcoming HBO season. We discuss what this could mean for the show's direction and its relationship with the games.
• The Game of the Year Race: With no clear cut frontrunner for Game of the Year so far, we look at the year's biggest releases and ask whether Grand Theft Auto VI is an inevitable winner when it finally arrives.

We also squeeze in a few extra stories during our "Didn't Make the Cut" round, including a leaked Iron Man game and Wendy's unexpectedly releasing a pop punk album that's actually pretty good!

As always, we wrap things up with our pop culture Kahoot! challenge, putting our knowledge to the test and competing for bragging rights.

It’s time for another edition of What Did I Miss?, our monthly recurring series where we catch up on the biggest pop culture stories from the past few weeks that may have slipped under the radar. This month, we’re joined by returning guests Roo Ryder and Ivan Gafiltha as we tackle everything from the future of physical media and some massive D23 announcements to controversies surrounding AI and the entertainment industry. We’ll also take a moment to remember several beloved figures we lost this month before diving into our Discord roundup and wrapping things up with our usual game of pop culture Kahoot!

• The apparent move away from physical media, with PlayStation reportedly scaling back its commitment to discs while Xbox may be taking a different approach in the future. We discuss what the potential disappearance of physical games could mean for collectors, preservation, and the way we own the media we love

• The huge number of announcements coming out of D23, including Frozen 3, Coco 2, Kingdom Hearts IV, new Disney Parks attractions, major Marvel and X-Men casting announcements, and plenty of other reveals from across Disney’s upcoming slate

• Twitch’s AI controversy and the backlash from creators after the platform seemingly opted streamers into a new AI related feature without clearly informing them, raising bigger questions about transparency, consent, and how platforms are using AI with creator content

• The recent passing of Hayden Panettiere, Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen, reflecting on their incredible careers and the impact each had on film, television, music, animation, and pop culture across multiple generations

We also head into our Discord roundup for a lightning round of additional stories, including Dave Bautista being cast as the new Kratos, a surprisingly fun McDonald’s Godzilla and Hello Kitty collaboration, reports that Horizon Zero Dawn 3 could still be years away due to the focus on live service projects, and several more stories from the Wait For It Podcast Discord server.

Join us for another packed episode of pop culture news, reactions, debates, and plenty of unexpected stories you may have missed. And, as always, stick around until the end to see who takes home the bragging rights in this month’s Kahoot showdown!
